How To Remove Transfer Tape

When working with adhesive vinyl or Oramask, transfer tape is a necessity.  It helps you move the vinyl from one medium to another while keeping everything in the exact same spot. The MOST frustrating thing is when you go to remove your transfer tape and it also peels up your vinyl project. 

Today I want to make your life easier so…. Here is the absolute BEST way to remove your transfer tape to prevent your project’s frustration and peeling.
